"Beta-catenin phosphorylation in vivo is sequentially carried out by two distinct kinases, ckialfa and gsk-3. Ckialfa phosphorylation of s45 proceeds and is required for subsequent gsk-3 phosphorylation of t41, s37, and s33 one key substrate of gsk3 is the transcriptional co-activator beta catenin, whichis inactivated by gsk3 mediated phosphorylation and targeted for proteasomal degradation in unstimulated cells."
"Wnt regulation of beta-catenin degradation is essential for development and carcinogenesis. beta-catenin degradation is initiated upon amino-terminal serine/threonine phosphorylation, which is believed to be performed by glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) in complex with tumor suppressor proteins Axin and adnomatous polyposis coli (APC)."
